Castor Bean Plant
Generally, this is plant you would not think to be very dangerous as we get castor oil from it which is safe. This oil is produced from the seeds of the Castor Bean plant and is high in many vitamins and minerals. Bizarrely, it is these seeds that also contain highly toxic poison too!
This poison is ricin which is one of the most potent plant toxins on Earth. Stronger than the most powerful snake venom and products such as strychnine, ricin is very bad for you. If eaten a few beans can kill an adult but it is most dangerous if injected or inhaled.
